Each module supports senior reflection on Integrous Leadership and responsibility beyond self-interest.

What you will study
The curriculum moves from principle to practice, helping learners connect values, behaviour, influence and responsibility through structured online learning, reflection and tutorial engagement.
Module 1
The Value of Humanity
This module examines the value of humanity and the wider leadership deficit facing society. Learners explore personal and societal values, the moral maze, the fight-or-flight response to values conflict, and how leaders may defend values actively or passively.
Module 2
Giving Humanity a Value
This module explores how humanity can be given value in contexts of political, historical and social conflict. Learners consider the impact of values over time, the challenge of remaining resolute when values are dismissed, and the responsibility of leaders to act with principled judgement.
Module 3
The Multiverse of influence
This module examines the multiverse of influence and what happens when spheres of influence collide. Learners consider whether influence can merge, bounce or burst, and how organisational, social and personal spheres can affect wider society.
Module 4
The Positive Value Leadership Framework
This module applies the Positive Value Leadership framework to society and humanity. Learners examine the idea of an exemplary society, the role of Positive Leadership Values, and the consequences that values have for social capital, human impact and public trust.
Module 5
The Value of a Positive Value Society
This module explores the value of a Positive Value Society. Learners examine values versus profit, Management by Values compared with Management by Objectives, and how to build a credible case for Positive Value Leadership in business and society.
Module 6
Unconscious life as a Positive Value Leader
This module consolidates the Capstone pathway by considering how values-led leadership becomes embedded in judgement, habit and identity. Learners reflect on how advanced leaders can move beyond episodic ethical choices towards consistent, integrous practice in organisational and societal contexts.
